The Inspiring New Member Award recognises those members who have made exceptional
contributions to the service and fundraising activities of British Columbia
Youth Parliament during their first year as part of the organisation. The award is
presented annually to a second year member who has made the greatest contribution to
Youth Parliament projects during their inaugural year.
The award was initiated by the desire on the part of Terasen (formerly BC Gas) to sponsor an award
for Youth Parliament. The Cabinet of the 68th British Columbia Youth Parliament
decided to accept the generous offer by BC Gas and chose to create the Inspiring
New Member Award.
The British Columbia Youth Parliament owes many thanks to both Kathi Thompson of BC
Gas and Karin Yeung, Premier of the 68th British Columbia Youth Parliament for
initiating this award.
